>I don't think a NY city cop could count on one hand the number of times he/she is 'flipped off' by the public during a typical day!

In 1992 when I lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.. I almost was arrested by a cop.. Just because I touched on him and say 'I begin your pardon I did not listened you (him) right..'

Is he wrong ? IMO, he just exceeded a little his behavior.. But, he is the authority over that place.. And, I am not able to judge him.. What kind of danger situation was that moment ? I don't know..

This is the reason that I try to show the 'two sides on the coin'

Democracy.. Free speech, etc.. It is the best taste that our society has prove over those past hundreds years.. But, we must to use it with responsabilities..
